Murder by mushroom brings Holmes (Jonny Lee Miller) and Watson (Lucy Liu) to investigate the death of a college professor and others poisoned during group gathering of injesting what should have been non-lethal hallucinatory mushrooms.

A whistleblower against a private college with questionable practices, the victim was killed on the eve of testimony that could have cost the university millions.
